    Any "compact scopes" that you like?

    Hi Chill 6x6, I've used ED50 for years, and also Meopta S282HD. Recently I got this 2nd hand Kowa 613 with 30x ep, I find it makes a better 'travelscope' on a lightweight tripod. I hardly ever use the ED50 or Meopta now.

    What binoculars are as good as Nikon Superior E?

    Oberwerk SE 8x32. Heavier though. But waterproof.

    8x25 IS vs. 8x20 IS

    I've had both, kept the 8x20. For ease of use, less 'jumpy' IS, size. I liked the optics on the 8x25 though. Both are fairly plasticky, the 8x20 less so.

    Troubador

    Good man, Lee! Keep up the good work! (P.S. to add to middle river's account, things haven't changed in some respects.....Andy is still outraged about something;))

    Feathers I.D.

    I know this is a long shot, but I was told these feathers are from Peru. Any ideas?

    Product Review: Oberwerk SE 8 x 32 ED.

    Hi just reporting back on the Oberwerk SE 8x32, after four months of use. You know how it is, you never "really" know until you've used binos in the field in various conditions. I have to say these have become my favourite "all-rounder, grab n'go" binoculars, and my closet contains original SEs...

    White Tailed Eagles Poisoned in Northern Ireland

    News out that two WTE, one of which was introduced into Ireland (south), Country Kerry in 2007, have been found poisoned in County Antrim (Northern Ireland). Apparently an insecticide banned for outdoor use was used, so it seems intentional.

    Get well card for Lee (Troubador)

    Lots of reviews and even more opinions on the site, so I'll throw in another...if I were thinking of a 10x for shorebirds in Pacific NW (conditions being similar, I'm told, to EU NW), I'd go for Canon IS 10x42 (Image Stabilised - best views!)

    Cuckoos

    I wonder if there is some kind of population drift, Andy? Is it possible that your cuckoos are drifting North and West, and ending up here? I read an interesting article today someplace about tracking migrations that mentioned a drift.

    The reverse porro, good alternative?

    I had a Vortex Vanquish 8x26 years ago. Foolishly sold it. Very good reverse porro. Ditto the Opticron Taiga 8x25.
